NEW DELHI: Tej Pratap Yadav on Saturday announced that he would be contesting the upcoming Bihar elections from Mahua. Last month, he was expelled from Rastriya Janata Dal (RJD)- a party headed by his father Lalu Prasad Yadav- after he made public his 12-year long relationship in a social media post, only to later claim that his account was hacked.
"We will contest the election from Mahua; there are many opponents, they have started to feel the itch," he said.
He further expressed confidence that Nitish Kumar would not retain the chief ministerial position in the state. "Team Tej Pratap Yadav is a platform to reach the people... This time, Uncle (Nitish Kumar) will not become the Chief Minister. Whoever's government is formed, if they talk about youth, employment, education, and health, Tej Pratap Yadav will stand with them with full strength," he said.
Earlier, he had alleged that a few people from his party had conspired to get him out and added that he would "reveal the names of those 4-5 people ".
"I'm not the one to get scared...I will face the situation...I will reveal the names of those 4-5 people who have done this to me. The people of Bihar have seen how I have been thrown out of the party due to a few people in the RJD. The public knows my nature. Taking advantage of my nature, some 4-5 people have done this. Now, I will go among the public to seek justice," he had said.
